Abstract
A razor has a razor head and a handle extending from the razor head. The handle defines a chamber holding pressurized shaving cream. A valve, having oppositely positioned flexible valve flaps biased for sealing engagement, selectively permits the emission of the shaving cream from the chamber. A nozzle defining a tube is insertable between the valve flaps for controlled passage of the shaving cream from the chamber.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1. A razor comprising: a razor head; a handle extending from said razor head; chamber means within said handle for defining a fluid tight shaving cream chamber and defining a chamber opening forming a fluid passage into said chamber; valve means at said chamber opening for selectively permitting shaving cream to emit from said chamber, said valve means comprising oppositely positioned flexible valve flaps biased for sealing engagement; and nozzle means comprising a tube defining a flow opening, said tube insertable between said valve flaps for passage of shaving cream from said chamber.
2. The razor of claim 1 wherein said handle comprises a plurality of longitudinal extending walls, said walls defining said chamber means.
3. The razor of claim 1 further comprising hinge means extending between said handle and said nozzle means for hingedly positioning said nozzle means between said valve flaps.
4. A razor comprising: a razor head; a tubular handle defining an exterior surface and an interior surface and further defining a pressure chamber, said handle extending from said razor head, said handle having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion said proximal end portion fixed to said razor head and said distal end portion defining a chamber opening in fluid connection with said pressure chamber; valve means in said chamber opening, said valve means comprising oppositely positioned flexible valve flaps biased together for sealing engagement; pressurized shaving cream in said pressure chamber; and nozzle means comprising a tube defining a flow passage insertable between said valve flaps for passage of said shaving cream from said chamber.
5. The razor of claim 4 wherein said valve means comprises a valve retainer extending over said chamber opening and defining a retainer opening continuous with said chamber opening and a valve body in said retainer opening.
6. The razor of claim 5 wherein said retainer contacts said exterior surface of said handle.
7. The razor of claim 5 wherein said retainer contacts said interior surface of said handle.
8. The razor of claim 5 further comprising a hinge means extending between said retainer and said nozzle means for hingedly positioning said nozzle means between said valve flaps.
9. The razor of claim 8 wherein said hinge means comprises a living hinge.
10. The razor of claim 5 wherein said nozzle means comprises of a nozzle cap extending over said retainer and slidably engaging said exterior wall of said handle, said cap having a first position, wherein said tube is away from said valve flaps and a second position wherein said tube is between said valve flaps.
11. The razor of claim 10 further comprising spring means positioned between said retainer and said nozzle cap for biasing said nozzle cap to said first position.
12. The razor of claim 5 wherein said valve body sealably engages said interior surface of said handle.
13. The razor of claim 5 wherein said valve retainer is a split ring having a living hinge.
14. A razor comprising: a razor head comprising a razor blade; a handle extending from said razor head; chamber means within said handle for defining a fluid tight shaving cream chamber and defining a chamber opening forming a fluid passage into said chamber; pressurized shaving cream in said chamber; valve means at said chamber opening for selectively permitting said shaving cream to emit from said chamber, said valve means comprising oppositely positioned flexible valve flaps biased for sealing engagement; and nozzle means comprising a tube defining a flow opening, said tube insertable between said valve flaps for passage of said shaving cream from said chamber.
15. The razor of claim 14 wherein said handle comprises a plurality of longitudinal extending walls, said walls defining said chamber means.
16. The razor of claim 14 further comprising hinge means extending between said handle and said nozzle means for hingedly positioning said nozzle means between said valve flaps.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
